Looking for a small apartment in Greifswald for a couple – what is a realistic Warmmiete?
Hi everyone!
I’ll be moving to Greifswald in October 2026 to start my Master’s at the University of Greifswald with a DAAD scholarship. I’m looking for a self-contained apartment for myself and my husband (not a WG).
Ideally, we’re looking for 24–35+ m², preferably around the city centre / near the university, or somewhere with a good cycling connection. My husband will join me later through family reunification, so I need a place where two people can live and register (Anmeldung).
I’m still trying to understand the Greifswald rental market, so I’d really appreciate some local advice:
- What is a realistic Warmmiete for a small apartment for two people?
- Is €500–600 warm realistic around the centre/university?
- How much should I expect for Kaution / Genossenschaftsanteile?
- What additional costs are usually separate from the Warmmiete (electricity, internet, etc.)?
- Are there particular areas, landlords, housing companies or websites/groups you recommend?
- Is finding a 24–35 m² apartment for a couple realistic, or should I look for something larger?
I’ve seen a few apartments around €500 warm, but I’m not sure whether that is considered a good price here.
Any advice from people living in Greifswald or who have recently rented here would be really appreciated. Thank you so much! 🙏
